Minor girls rescued

Jajpur: A week after being kidnapped from Haryana, two minor daughters of a Gurgaon-based businessman were rescued from Naupala village near here, police said today.

A team of Haryana police rescued the daughters of businessman Shiv Kumar Pandit from the village under Binjharpur police station area where the girls, aged 14 and 16 years, had been kept by the kidnapper, Officer-in-Charge of Binjharpur police station Asit Ranjan Mohanty said.

The accused, identified as Ganesh Jena (25), who was working in a factory at Khudukidola area in Gurgaon and staying adjacent to Pandit’s house, had allegedly kidnapped the two sisters from their house a week ago, he said.

After the girls’ father filed an FIR with Gurgaon police station, accusing Ganesh of kidnapping his daughters, a police team from Haryana reached Naupala to rescue them from the clutches of the alleged kidnapper, he said.

Though the sisters, who had been kept in the house of the accused, were rescued, Ganesh managed to flee, he said.

Haryana police team left for Gurgaon along with the girls on Friday, the police said.

Another police team is expected to visit the area shortly as part of their efforts to nab Ganesh. PTI
